In looking through my notebooks of O'Rear information, I came across the
following obituary abstract that I had copied back in 1987. I thought
some of KY/MO O'Rear listmembers might be interested.

From:
"Genealogical Abstracts of Marriages and Deaths from the 'Nashville
Christian Advocate' 1846-1851" by Annie Sandifer Trickett

[Note: I have a note here that this is probably #6 on Ed O'Rear's chart;
however, on the chart, the parents are listed as Jeremiah and Nancy--not
Sarah. Did Jeremiah have two wives?]
